This is the fifth time the water main has burst, leading to significant complications for both drivers and local residents.

Adding to the villagers’ woes, gas main works are taking place just 50 yards up from the site of the water main burst. Both sets of utility works have necessitated the installation of two sets of four-way traffic signals by the respective utility companies, leading to severe traffic congestion and delays.
